This is the hilarious moment an out-of-control street food cart spun around in endless circles on a road in Cambodia.

Onlooker Chanry Sombath was driving home when she had to stop and pull over because the modified motorcycle was blocking the road while it was rotating in Phnom Penh on February 27.

The mother-of-two watched in astonishment as the trailer used for serving ice cream continued spinning around like a helicopter.

The helpless driver, unable to control his motor, could only stand and watch in disbelief. There was a also long metal bar hanging from the back of the cart that acted like a rotor blade, preventing him from getting close.

Shocked Chanry said: 'I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I've never seen a food cart behaving like that before. It was dangerous but funny at the same time.'

The accident is believed to have happened when the food cart lost its balance and fell bike while the motorcycle's throttle became jammed.

Chanry said that the rider eventually managed to remove the keys and cut the power to his bike. He pushed his vehicle to the roadside while trying to figure out what had malfunctioned.

Chanry said: 'I felt a bit sorry for him. Hopefully, this doesn't happen again as it could affect his livelihood..'
